sudoers nopasswd screwiness

I add my username to the /etc/sudoers file and it works, although some stuff
like the Update Manager still asks for a password. But, I think all commands
in the term window work without asking.

username ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL

I've never changed /etc/sudoers.d/user - maybe that's a requirement of
puppet. 

With rsync, I want the command to run with the user's permissions and not
with elevated permissions. In any case, rsync should run for anyone without
sudo...
